Document Summary
Made the conceptual distinction between three different kinds of love: Romantic love: an emotion: directed towards a person, between two people. At least ideally, you can have unrequited love although presumably this wont continue past a certain point. If you love more than one person at a time; you still only have more than one case of love between individual sets of two: as a sexual/intimate element, aims towards sharing a life/identity. I believe my grade was unfair; i am angry at steven. I believe my partner has cool hair, i am in love with them (this seems odd) Maybe images and vague, fuzzy associations is enough. Emotions may be related to belief; however there is less to suggest that love adheres to this structure as often (forbidden love and all that shit) I can hate person a without feeling hatred" every living moment towards them. Love & infatuation: infatuation: ( falling in love")
